We report outcomes in 29 patients with flexor tendon repairs 32 digits (five thumbs and 27 fingers) our modified protocols. repaired the lacerated digitorum profundus tendons core suture using 6-strand M-Tang method without circumferential sutures. divided pulleys as much needed to allow excursion of tendons, including complete division A4 or A2 when necessary. In nine fingers, we one slip superficialis resected other half. When would not glide under pulley, excised remaining tendon. The...

The aim of this study was to quantify the articular cartilage defect created with two different antegrade techniques intramedullary osteosynthesis a headless compression screw inserted through metacarpophalangeal joint. In 12 out 24 fingers from six cadaveric hands, trans-articular technique cannulated screws (2.2 and 3.0 mm diameter) used; whereas in other fingers, an intra-articular fixation used. areas surface defects were measured digital image software program. All measurements made...

This study reports our treatment of divided flexor pollicis longus tendons by primary repair from January 2004 to September 2007. Fifty repairs carried out using the Tang technique three Tsuge sutures are reported in this study. A circumferential suture was not used routinely. Excellent or good results were observed 78/82% cases (White/Buck-Gramcko assessments, respectively). No patients ruptured as a result early active mobilization. developed postoperative infections with wound and tendon...

Abstract Metacarpal fractures constitute 7.8% of the upper extremity fractures. The common treatments remain nonsurgical procedure, but high-demanding patients or unstable require fixation with Kirschner wire (K-wires), plate, and screws. However, these approaches may cause scarring adhesion poor functional results. From 2014 to 2015, authors used an intramedullary headless screw treat 25 (24 men, 1 woman) metacarpal bones (20 V, 3 IV, III, II). patterns were 23 distal third bone (16...

We report sonographic findings with clinical outcomes after zone 2 flexor digitorum profundus tendon repairs in ten fingers. The tendons underwent a six-strand M-Tang core repair, no circumferential suture, and partial or complete division of the pulleys. Over 12 months surgery using ultrasound, we found gapping at repair site during finger motion. When pulleys were divided, there was evidence bowstringing, but bowstringing minimal. Clinically, did not find any fingers that displayed had...

None of the existing treatments in management painful end-neuromas superficial branch radial nerve (SBRN) has been proven superior due to high levels pain relapse. Fat grafts enriched with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) could act as a mechanic barrier biological effects decreasing resorption rate and boosting graft's regenerative potential. This study describes novel surgical treatment technique SVF-enriched fat grafting.In this clinical study, five consecutive patients treated for SBRN...

As primary repair of divided flexor tendons becomes more common, secondary tendon surgery largely that the complications repair, namely ruptured and adherent repairs. These occur with an incidence each in most reported series world-wide around 5%, these problems having changed little last two decades, despite strengthening our suture Where referral service is less well-developed, as a occasional occurrence where treatment routine, surgeon faces different problems. Patients arrive at hand...

Twenty digits in 15 patients with dorsal combined tissue loss were treated by radical debridement, primary non-vascularised iliac crest bone graft and immediate lower abdominal flap cover between 1996 2006. The average length of the grafts was 3.3 (range 2.5-5) cm. No extensor tendon reconstruction carried out. flaps divided at 3 weeks without delay. Permissible thinning done time division flaps. secondary procedure done. All retrospectively reviewed X-rays obtained. Radiological union...

Background and Objectives: Retrograde free venous flaps represent a separate entity among flaps: their physiology is still unclear, but they provide an immediate visible refill after reconnection, with similar behaviour to conventional flaps. Therefore, the dimensions indications of these can be extended beyond what was previously believed, easily customized, including respect tendons nerves. Nevertheless, are debated regarded as unsafe. Materials Methods: From 2012 2019, we performed 31...
